Is There Any Race He’s Not Doing?

This time, it’s on behalf of Democrat Brooke Ellison, who’s challenging state Sen. John Flanagan, a Suffolk County Republican, in the 2nd SD.

Meanwhile, Flanagan has a negative spot about Ellison, although not a hit piece, per se. It’s another one of those ads that features real people talking (a different ad with the same technique caused a bit of a stir back in September.

I don’t have the ad itself, but I do have the script, which follows after the jump. The upshot is that they’re complaining about Ellison’s lack of experience, (she’s 27), as well as her “views,” although there’s no specifics provided.

The experience part is ironic because Flanagan himself was just 25 when he was first elected to the state Assembly in 1986, taking the seat that had been held by his late father.

Flanagan was elected to the Senate in 2002 not long after he lost a battle to become Assembly minority leader to then-Assemblyman Charles Nesbitt, R-Albion.

Flanagan ad script:Â

Woman 1: Brooke Ellison is a very courageous young lady.

Woman 2: She certainly is inspirational with what she has done with her life.

Woman 1: But I donâ€™t agree with her politics.

Man: I worry about her youth and her inexperience.

Woman 3: Too inexperienced.

Man: Her viewsâ€¦(trails off)

Woman 1: The experience thatâ€™s needed to do this job is something that John Flanagan has.

Woman 3: I know John Flanaganâ€™s record and I want the best

Man: And youâ€™re asking me to replace the best Senator in New York Stateâ€¦ canâ€™t do it.
